10TV WBNS Columbus, Ohio

Ads have taken over the world. This you have to watch 30 to 45 second ad. (which sounds OK right?) wrong! I got a notification from them during severe weather that a tornado warning was issued for my area and the tornado touchdown about 800 feet from my house. When I clicked on the tornado warning it took me to the app where I had to watch a 45 second ad before I could see them reporting where this tornado was located. That 45 seconds was critical because within that 45 seconds the tornado ripped through my house killing both of my pets and almost my father. I would never recommend this app to anybody! All they care about is you watching ads over your life. I have moved onto other apps where they don't make you watch ads during critical moments. Horrible horrible horrible and I wish I could read it a zero. They don't care about nothing but saving them a few bucks. This is why ads need to be eliminated and why politicians need to step up and force people like this app owner to disregard ads especially during critical moments

We always enjoyed watching channel 10, but it is no longer offered by our local cable service. When I watch a little news on my phone channel 10 app, Meigs County isn’t even shown on the weather map! Our two oldest grandchildren are students at The Ohio State University- we would like to have your news channel so we know a little more about Columbus. With the coronavirus updates given by the governor, we don’t see them. We are the poorest county ( or second poorest) - we have no hospital, no public transportation, no jobs. The school district we live in is the largest employer in the county. Just a little background on us- I do appreciate getting to get a little news from your channel on my phone.

I like how this app has a fresh design and has much more personalization capabilities than many other local (and even national) news apps. There are definitely a good amount of ads, but they could be worse and more excessive, especially nowadays. But what really sticks out to me is the amount of personalization features. You don't need to allow breaking news notifications for every alert or none at all...just what matters to you. The homepage is personalized based on what you want to see (separate from notifications) as well. Even some of the weather information and alerts can be personalized by location (not just Columbus). This is by far one of the better free news apps, and there being plentiful local news makes it even better.
